👉👉 Define boiler mountings and accessories with examples.

Answer: 

               

Boiler Mountings: 

                               These are the fittings, which are mounted or installed on the boiler for its safe and proper functioning. There are many boiler mountings which are mounted on the boiler. A list of boiler mountings are given below:

          ০ Water Level Indicator

          ০ Pressure Gauge

          ০ Safety Valve

          ০ Steam Stop Valve

          ০ Blow off cock

          ০ Feed check valve

          ০ Fusible plug

Boiler Accessories: 

                               These are the devices which are used as integral parts of a boiler and help in running efficiently. A list of boiler accessories are given below:

          𒐀 Feed Pump

          𒐀 Super Heater

          𒐀 Economizer

          𒐀 Air Preheater

          𒐀 Injector
